To Score a Penalty
Market description: Select a player to score directly from a Penalty in a match.
1. Bets are settled on the events that occur in normal time.
- This includes injury time added on by the match official at the end of normal time.
2. Extra time doesn’t count, unless specifically stated.
3. Own goals don’t count towards settlement of this market.
4. If a penalty rebounds from either the woodwork or the goalkeeper and is touched again before a goal is awarded this will be deemed as a miss.
5. If a penalty is ordered to be retaken, then the original penalty will not count towards settlement.
6. If the selected player doesn't start the match but enters the field of play at any time, bets placed on that player in this market will stand.
7. If the selected player leaves the field of play without scoring a penalty, bets placed on that player in this market will have lost and will be settled as losers.
8. If the selected player takes no part in the match, bets placed on that player in this market will be void.
9. If a match is postponed, normal postponed match rules apply.
10. If a match is abandoned, normal abandoned match rules apply.
- If a match is abandoned and the selected player has scored a penalty in the time played before abandonment, bets placed on that selection in this market will have already won and will be settled as winners.
- If a match is abandoned and the selected player has left the field of play without scoring a penalty in the time played before abandonment, bets placed on that player in this market will have already lost.
- If a match is abandoned and the selected player is still on the field of play and has not scored a penalty at the time of abandonment, bets placed on that player in this market will be void, subject to normal abandoned match rules, because the match didn't play for the full duration.
